I wanted to tell my story because I believe that if I can inspire or motivate even 10 or 15 people to start losing weight, it's a very big achievement. If I've managed to do it, anybody can.

Promoting healthy lifestyles and encouraging fitness are so important for our children's development and reducing the nation's epidemic of childhood obesity.

I want to teach my daughter the importance of exercising and eating healthy as she grows up.

Childhood obesity is best tackled at home through improved parental involvement, increased physical exercise, better diet and restraint from eating.

There are so many factors to lead to a child becoming obese.

Becoming an inspiration for kids is great. I want to inspire them to do whatever they want to.

Fitness is a curve. You can be Lance Armstrong, or you can be really out of shape at the opposite end. People enter the curve wherever they are and then they can move up the curve, by better nutrition and better exercise.

Tackling childhood obesity is key.

I want to encourage people to make healthy life choices, whether it's training for a half-marathon, or eating more vegetables.

The most important thing I want to get across is that maintaining weight loss is just hard. It takes a dedication to exercise and eating right most of the time.
